5.0 out of 5 stars Dark Sun is for the toughest breed., December 8, 2000

This review is from: Dark Sun Campaign Setting, Expanded and Revised (Paperback)

As a veterine of AD&D I can say that Dark Sun is truly original and represents new challenges and general style off roleplaying. Be warned however that Dark Sun is harsh, and that if you find your self running around in plate-male armor and are armed to the teeth with magic or steel weapons then your DM is doing the wrong thing.Athas (the world of Dark Sun) has scarcely any metal, has an over supply of deadly psionic monsters, and is home to evil sorcerer kings, and a handful of unique races. I have been playing for over 4years real time and, have owned but one magic weapon which was promptly taken from me. These situations are great to get an adventure started as players will do anything to get steel or magic weapons back. I hope that me review has convinced you the reader to pursue a Dark Sun Campaigne believe me you wont regret it. Signed: The Wanderer

4.0 out of 5 stars Big Job for great future, but there wasnt continue., April 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dark Sun Campaign Setting, Expanded and Revised (Paperback)

This word is great, presents a new view of the game (not the typical Tolkien medieval word). The set includes a great information well presented,accesories, maps, and the best for me was the suplement 'The way of the Psioniscist', where all psionic matter is arranged, great if u like playing Psionics(to any campaing); and the goal for the adventures is great: Save and change the world. The problem is that now Dark Sun is discontinued, and only some adventures, settings and accesories appeared after this; well if u think u are great DM, and want something different than a group of heros hacking, slashing and solving quests, here you found Dark Sun.

This campaign is awesome! The setting is full of new ideas and concepts. I jighly recomend it. On the downside it is for AD&D. But I find the conversion to 3.5 easy to accomplish. But I am an experienced DM, I would not try it unless you fully understand your current rules set.
